Group of Eight universities were well pleased yesterday, announcing students who have won Westpac Future Leaders scholarships.  They certainly are worth having, including $120 000 for postgrad study, plus “bespoke leadership development”. But while Go8 institutions won 16 out of 17 awarded this is not the example of superior students overwhelmingly coming from elite institutions it may appear. The programme is only open to the Group of Eight and University of Tasmania.
